	I don't like it either, but according to the Scottish news last night, it was chosen to be easily recognisable and stand out from the crowd! The team, apparantly, quite like it now they've got used to it!!

	It will certainly do that Andysmum.

	The blue reminds me of a child's potty, and the rest, particularly the socks, of the contents of a child's potty :-( :-S

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	Oh dear...... the best I can say is, they will be easy to find in a crowd! :-) If that's an indication of the events uniforms, I can't wait to see the Scotsmen competing in the hurdles, high jump & pole vault :-D No idea what the Aussies will be wearing at the opening ceremony, but the usual green & gold with a "splash" of blue for events: http://media.theage.com.au/news/national-news/commonwealth-games-uniforms-revealed-5536825.html

	I saw it on the news on Sunday and... it's awful. One look at the designer and I'm not surprised! OH thinks it's a ploy to encourage the "No" voters, as no self respecting Scot would endorse that outfit!
